Canton Of Bern Vacation Packages

Bern, the de facto capital of Switzerland, is surrounded by the major river of the Swiss Plateau, which has medieval architecture and cultural gems spread throughout the city. With museums, churches, impressive landmarks, famous festivals, and historic sites, the Bern tour assures an unforgettable journey for every traveler.        

Begin your Berner tour by walking through the gorgeous old town, one of the main streets in Bern, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through the cobbled streets bordered by arcade sidewalks that look like a snake for miles, and you will feel that this place has retained its medieval character. And yes, shopping lovers can buy from a few international stores. However, most stores are little boutiques by locals and there are stores specializing in homewares, clothing, children's toys, and bookstores. This shopping scene really captures the essence of local Swiss charm.     

Don't miss a visit to the Berner Münster, also known as the Cathedral of St. Vincent, the Cathedral of Bern in the heart of the Old Town. It is the tallest in Switzerland, having a beautiful Gothic building made from sandstone, and its main attraction is its magnificent spire, which is more than 100 meters (about 328.08 ft) tall. You need to take 254 steps to climb all the way to the top and witness the panoramic views of the city. Inside the Cathedral, you will get to see a collection of stone and wood sculptures, stained-glass windows, and lots more. You can attend the services of Bern Cathedral held every Saturday and Sunday.     

Bern trip is incomplete without seeing the delicate old details of Zytglogge (Clock Tower), one of the significant Things to Do in Bern. This 800-year-old Clock T, ower in the shape of a sun and moon, is a 15th-century astronomical clock tower that played an important role in Bern's history. You will relive history seeing this tower, which served as a guard tower, watch tower for fires, and even a prison.         

Art lovers are filled with joy at the Kuntmuseum (Museum of Art). Here you can see world-class art through paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, and films. It is the oldest and most massive art museum in Switzerland, built in 1879, and holds an international reputation. There are some collections of art which you must praise here along with exhibitions.     

Come across the city's living emblems at Barenpark (Bear Park or Bear Pit), where you will get to see the views across the river to the old buildings. These bears are now icons of the city, and you can spot these bears from the bridge and viewing platform in the park.     

Do you know Einstein lived in Bern from 1903-1905, and during this time, he wrote his first document on the Theory of Special Relativity? Now you can walk through his former residence, called Einstein House, where you can come across displays, various documents, and artifacts from his time. There are also various sculptures of Einstein throughout the city and an Einstein Museum, which you can visit to honor this scientific genius of the 20th century.     

Get immersed in Bern Sightseeing Activities at the Rose Garden Park (Rosengarten), one of the most peaceful and beautiful places in Bern, which has impressive views of the city. It sits on a hill slope just across the river from the center of town. During the warmer months, the garden is overwhelmed with 400 colorful rose varieties, and in the autumn, it becomes a great spot where you can see leaves change as the weather cools.  And yes, in the spring, you can't miss the steep hillside pathway, which is lined with gorgeous Japanese cherry blossoms.         

Are you aware that Bern is also known as the city of fountains? Coming to Bern, you can't afford to skip these 16th-century fountains topped with statues of ideas or biblical scenes such as Samson killing a lion and other major figures. There are 100 fountains now, with eleven retaining original statues, and all are carefully maintained and frequently renovated.
